Hello there!

My situation is:

I have a big piece and I just cut it in different parts, and I basically want to export those small parts into separate step files with new coordinates system for each one... in order to get them centered in another software I'm using.

Currently I'm loading the steps from CATIA into SOLIDWORKS and creating a new coordinate system in SOLIDWORKS (where is really easy) and saving again in step format... but I want to avoid that path throw SOLIDWORKS...

No way of doing this "easily" in CATIA?

Thank you very much!

Drop them into a dummy CATProduct --> position them where you want in reference to the dummy assemblies axis system --> Create an AllCAT of that Assembly --> Save as STP.

When you create the allcat, it will make everything in that assembly into a catpart and reference the assembly 0,0,0. It's also helpful to add a new catpart as the 0,0,0 reference.
